- Producing 2.3 billion pencils a year and being in the business for over 257 years, Faber-Castell has a sound know-how of how quality pencils are made. Have a look behind the scenes of our manufacturing.

I'm never gonna look at a pencil the same again. Idk why this video just makes me value my pencil more
I totally get you
funnyvideosIG there is a reason why I've loved pencils
me either. you're seeing people working hard to make that. i look to the pencil and try to think about the process to make that
Yeah same
Yea lol
When i was a kid having Faber-Castell pencils was sort of like a status symbol
And having a Mongol makes you medium class, while having locally made pencils is- well, you know
here in india too. when i was in school i used to buy faber castel pencils, erasers, ruler etc.
it was a feeling of proud because my classmates used local pencils.😅
Truee
@@nanmun1112 same! I like the products just because they are faber castell. But most of my classmates had either Staedtler or Faber castel
@@sharkddududdudu1679
steadtler brand is not found in india...faber castel is here.
during my school days faber castell was a new brand in india
most students used indian brands like 'natraj', 'apsara'
I have never been more invested in the pencil-making process as I am now.

When I was little, before I left my homeland to immigrate to the other side of the world, my teary-eyed relatives gave me the 48 colored pencil set as a goodbye gift. I took that set everywhere as I learned to acclimate. On my first visit back many years later, I bought myself a new set and passed that down to my baby sister. And to this day, I still have my original set from more than 2 decades ago. Faber-Castell will always have a special meaning in my life (I’m cheesy, yes, but this video brings back nostalgia).
Such a beautiful story….❤
Wow, just imagine if Fabercastle decides to make a commercial out of this story, opening scene a child preparing for traveling, teary-eyed people gifting the pencils set... years later, you show up on the camera holding the old vintage original set with your children playing around with new ones ... it is gonna be a hiiiit
My dear Shan; Cheesy? I think not. Well grounded? Yes. Connected to life? Yes. I wish you the best. Kevin
@@mohamedmagdy5003 fr sure it's gonna be amazing storyline

No one ever had an idea that Faber Castell has a TH-cam channel

Yeah you are right
and it has quite a lot subs! oO
So True..
i agree with MrBobAndVagene
If someone's borrows a pencil from me and not giving it back as they say "It's just a pencil!" I'll be sending this to them.
Haha i bet my mom watched this before me cuz thats what i always say lol
Same
a pencil for us and life, money, business for owner and workers
HAHAHAHHA
It’s still just a pencil though..
This is the first time I've seen making a pencil like this. Little did I know that there was so much hard work. Thanks Faber-Castell for the fantastic work.
Repetitive tedious work like nearly all factory jobs .
Do you have any idea what 'hard work' is ?
Please think before commenting
@@davepowell7168 well, actually, not 1 person does all the work, the work is usually divided into 10s of smaller works
@@davepowell7168 is this the reply for me or someone else please.
The first school exam was never about how pencils are made. So the pencils does grows from trees. All the schools has signed the top secret deal with the pencil makers, it’s the Area 51.
Can I just say this was one of the most interesting videos I've watched. Always fascinating to see how things we use every day, and take for granted, are made.
School teacher asked: “how pencils are made?”
School boy: “That was easy, just watch how I pull one out from my mouth!”.
I dont know how is this gonna help me , but i feel educated
Harsh Raj Always free 🤣🤣🤣same
Int. +1
Pencil factory job maybe hmmmmm
If nothing else, it certainly gives the general public a taste of the engineering and machine design that can go into the mass-production of even the simplest objects.
Same haha 😂
Kids: Breaks Pencils
Faber-Castell: Working so hard to make pencils.
Except that Faber Castell generally do not make pencils that are cheaply made like some pencils made in China.
S and pencils are in cheap rate but they r working hard to get at least pencils
@@ryanhuang8498 true Faber castell is my fave brand coz it lasts longer and it's expensive it isn't tht cheap nor expensive it's price is kinda okayish price
The kids paid for it
How could we break a pencil
TH-cam:- here i am recommending video to you
As an architect and artist I use them for years. It is one of the tools you pick up without thinking about it, and they never disappointed me.
This 👏👏
Then we started asking , if it’s this tricky, then why they even bother to give the pencils their “car body paintworks?!”, we had to use the swearing word of MTHR FVKERS in this one!
It seems to me that this automated production process of making pencils is incredible, the fact that it also applies quality control (an inspection) before if gets sent off.
a lot more labour involved that I imagined. but that equipment was paid for decades ago!!! still surprised that the price point can stay so low with all these involved steps and materials.
@@louisliu5638 I assume they have made a lot of profit from it and that they are world class art materials
I didn't know Faber Castell had a TH-cam channel until now
Nobody knew. Until TH-cam recommendation happens.

O i knew it aftr reading ur comment

Well me neither but apparently youtube wanted us to discover it
*sends this to that one kid in class who always borrows pencils and never gives em back*
hahahahaha loll
i wish i could like this more than just once... such an underrated comment
@@yuri6642 I liked his comment for u
@@paige.w17 omo, thank u sm! you make me feel special~💜
@@sangitaoraon4994 lol yes! I'm an army too💜
I grew up next to this fabrication and sometimes the whole neighbourhood smelled like pencils. 🙂 Depends on the wind. Back then in the 80s everyone living around Faber Castell worked there and I always had lots of scarce goods pencils given to me by neighbours that they could not sell because the print was overlayed or something. Then, like everywhere, staff was heavily reduced and my pencil well dryed up.
nowadays if the neighborhood smells from a factory they will have a problem with EPA or local DEC .
"And to this day, I still have my original set from more than 2 decades ago." - As their catchphrase says: "Companion for life" :)
Thank you all the employees who make these wonderful pencils for us to use. I love them, and I appreciate them even more now. Love and blessings, Sandy

Back in junior school days...These Faber-Castels were the rolls-royce of all pencils for us.
No-one knows what this comment said anymore
Ah, the good ol' days
Yeah
Still are c:
S ur correct
"If you can't be a pencil to write someone's happiness... then try to be a nice eraser to remove their sadness."
Well you can’t remove sadness ur only replacing it with happiness
l-l-like a gun? 🔫
:')
But what if I want to write sadness and erase their happiness?
@@_simon.s_ Then do just that.
This video reminds me of back in the 80s and early 90s of how the simple things we used daily were made on PBS. Lots of dedication, detail and love goes into these objects a lot of us over look or take for granted.
No pencil making video has the right to be that epic
Idk Why but I feel like respecting my pencils more.

Why is it so sad that I can relate
So glad this turned up in my feed! It's gratifying to see the care that goes into making a beloved product.
These guys sounds so professional, happy and satisfiyed on their jobs... realistic.
You can hear only music, but none of the people saying anything. So what makes you thing "these guys sound* so professional"?
Now I see why Faber Castell is an high quality pencil

If we can understand his/her comment then we're fine. This isn't school, stop putting stress and pressure on others by making fun of their grammar. And english isn't the only language as well, they probably can speak in another language.

It's great to know about the process how the pencils we love are manufactured. You can see the customers' love towards the brand at the end of the video ❤
People of old times would DIE when they see how easy and fast production has become! So fascinating. We should really appreciate the people who create such machines

In India it's one of the cheaper brands. The elite one is staedler
@@ascha730 staedler??? I swear those are cheaper than faber castell here
Same.. in korea n Indonesia, this brand is the most expensive one between the others.
Cool, thank you. I remember getting a box of Faber-Castell pencils, and being so happy and grateful. I still am, just watching this video took me back to the smell of the fresh pencils and the joy of holding a brand new smooth colour, ready to ✍🏽 draw , in my hand.
Just. Amazing! It was great to see how the "best of the best" is made ...they're the only pencil I've used to sketch with, so this was very eye-opening. Thank you Faber-Castell!

I have brought the 48 colour pencil set of Faber-Castell before 6 years and to this date I can't bring myself to use it. I just keep it to look at and admire it.I manage with my used colour pencils. Beautifully crafted pencils.
Seeing how much effort goes into making pencils makes me feel bad for participating in pencil fights when I was 7 years old. Back then, a No. 2 Ticonderoga was about 10 cents.
I feel bad scraping the skin of the pencil with a ruler after seeing all the effort put into it
You must feel bad messing your thing..thos "things" needs an effort to finish it😎😎😎
Though its so satisfying
I use a cutter to sharpen the pencil. Fun shit when you're bored.

Admit 2 things-
1. No one searched for it. It was in our recommendations.
2. You loved it.

I am an artist with a pack of Faber Castell colour pencils (and couple of other packs) ✏ I am so thankful to these people for making these for me.
faber castell is the best brand for me too
Always grateful. 😊
Call me “nerdy”, but I love pencils! I would love to work at this pencil production plant! I was an estimator for a large commercial printing company for almost 30 years; people never saw me without a pencil behind my ear all those years, and it better have been a relatively new one with a sharp point! As a child, pencils were my favorite Christmas gifts, and “Santa” made sure I received regular and colored pencils every Christmas! I started giving my son pencils for gifts early on; he still has some of the “art sets “ he received as gifts! There’s something soothing about pencils; went through college and earned 2 engineering degrees using pencils! The only time I don’t use pencils is when I have to sign legal documents and then I have to use a genuine fountain pen (story for another time!). Thanks for the video! Really enjoyed it!

Already 17 years of my life with Faber-Castell 🎉. Thank you so much Faber-Castell! You have brought my life amazing! ❤
Faber Castell pencils and colored pencils are still my top favorites! I use them constantly. This was a fascinating video!
All this work just for it to get lost in a class room
I had two pencils at the beginning of a school year. At the end of that school year, I had around ten pencils without buying or borrowing any.
Edit: found all of the extra ones on the floor or tables (for anyone who is asking)
it gives profit for the sellers when buying new ones after it got lost

Fantastic work for those who make these pencils!
Hi there, thank you for your kind words. All the best from Faber-Castell.
This video makes pencils look like they’re worth a lot more money then what we buy them for
Cassie A i agree so so much!!
ArtistGuitarist I meant the writing ones
Every product made on a industrial level deserves much more value than what we pay, for example, for starbucks
Small pieces of metal and plastic are materials so hard to create without complex machinery but we just trash them as if they value nothing
No
The leads are deeper in color. Easier to put on the paper, and harder to snap. The writing ones are like $1.99 ea but they last if you look after them.
From now on, I will be looking at my pencils in another way...
Lol
😁We all will
How?
I'm still looking at them with my eyes
Same here
Never knew making something as simple as a pencil was that complicated with the that sophisticated machines and processing....Wooww..that's amazing
